Lead Poisoning Victims Win Huge Settlement in New York

Three New York children will never be the same due to lead poisoning, and their mother, Mary Vasquez, wants other mothers to know about it. Ten years after she found out all three of her children had lead poisoning. Mrs. Vasquez received record lead settlements for a family in upstate New York--$2.5 million.

Any house built prior to 1978 could potentially be a lead hazard. Finding out the risks in your home before your children are affected makes a huge difference.

Lead can cause the following in children:

Learning disabilities
Brain damage
Academic failure
Attention deficit disorder
Hyperactive behavior
Neurological problems
Major organ failure
Coma
Death

If you or a loved one has suffered lead poisoning in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, or Long Island, including Nassau and Suffolk counties, please contact the experienced lead poisoning attorneys at Silberstein Awad & Miklos today to schedule your initial consultation.
